Inside this old converted farmhouse is a cutting edge modern eclectic experience like few others. Chef Jonoathan Clarke (the proud brandisher of a Michelin star) serves up signatures chicken foie gras & artichoke terrine with pepper caramel, glazed Gressingham duck breast with chorizo & potato dauphine & beetroot marmalade, or pan-fried john dory with spinach & herb ravioli to keep the punters coming back to this culinary gem in rural Surrey. The interior matches the exterior, with an old world charm bereft of pretentiousness or ‘how-to-do’ sentiment.
